Remedy for Dysentery. IAN exchange says ::
The egg is considered one of the best of remedies
for dysentery. Beaten up slightly, with or with
out sugar, and swallowed at gulp, it tends by it's
emolient qualities to lessen the Inflammation of
the stomach and intestines, and by forming q
transient coating these organs to enable nature
to resume her healthful sway over diseased body.
Two, or at most three, eggs, per day would be all
that Is required in ordinary cases and since egg
is not merely medicine but food well, the light
er the diet otherwise and the quieter the patient
is kept, the certain and rapid is the recovery

Paid for Keeping His Mouth Shuttle
Baltimore Argus of last week has the following to
say of citizen of Baltimore county: "Capt. John
II. Suter, correspondence clerk at the Custom
House, is one of the longest employed officials in
the Custom House, having filled his present posi-
ton for over twenty years. He was born in the
Fourth ward but it is so long ago that he refuses
to refer to the occasion, and during the late war
wac a captain in the Fourth Maryland Uni~~.-~-
Infantry. The reason Captain Suter has retained
his position under go many different administra-
lions is that, with all the important correspondence
passing through his hands, he has never been
known to divulge any of it. The Captain says
that he receives $500 year for keeping his
mouth shut, and he certainly does it to perfection
The reporters have long since ceased to try to get
their work in on him, and have given him up as
bad job, and it is only when green one goes to
the Custom House that the Captain is interviewed"

The 10th Of April, 1861.-Col. Charles II.
Mann, of Towsontown, who was at the time resi-
dent of Baltimore city, writes as follows to The
Sun of the great riot of April 10Th, 1861 when the
mob attacked the Massachusetts troops on Pratt
street,
~ was an eyewitness Of the riot from the time
the troops left President-street Station until they
reached South street. While I was in a store
Exchange Place some one brought word that the
troops had been driven back from Pratt street to
the depot. 1 quickly left the store and ran down
Pratt street, and when near Marsh market saw
crowd on the railroad, which had been barrica-
died. 1 was informed that part of the regiment
had reached the Baltimore and Ohio Depot, and
that the other part had returned to President
street. I Immediately started for the depot, and
arrived just as the commanding officer was form
ing his men into line to march. On President
street they were met by about 40 men with an i'm
promptu rebel flag, who marched for time in
line with the soldiers until the latter got into
double. quick march, when the men who had been
marching in line with the troops fell behind and
commenced throwing stones at them. When they
reached Pratt bridge resistance was encoun
tered, (the bridge was then undergoing repairs,)
and several of the men were thrown down. The
regiment then moved in common time, and had no
trouble until near the place which it had previ-
ously reached in the cars, when firing commenced
from the second story of some warehouses, which
fire was returned by the troops. Most of the fir.
ing took place while they were near the basin. I
saw one man shot and, think, one horse. 1 do
not believe the crowd of citizens numbered 200.
I stood on barrel, holding on to an awning, when
a bullet passed close to my head, striking the
house. My best recollections as to the number
killed is that it did not exceed ten, mostly civil
ians. captain from the regiment, who had been
badly wounded, ran up an alley leading to
taurant On South street; the officer claimed pro-
lection of the owner, who waved back the crowd
of pursuers, saying: L am with the South, but
this man claims my protection, and you shall not
hurt him.. This officer was cared for at the same
place until he was able to return to his home.
The foregoing facts came under my own observa-
ton. was Union man during the war, and I
know that Mayor Brown and Marshal Kane did
their duty as officers, although personally their
sympathies were with the South"

occur almost every Sabbath in this usually quiet
